Real-time .in registration What does it mean?

The same second we have received your payment, your .in domain is placed in the live registration queue at INregistry.

This is in NO way a guarantee that we will be able to register the .in domain! There are some significant factors that are playing a role. The INregistry allows only one connection at the time. After every single .in registration we have to disconnect. After disconnecting we are placed in the queue at INregistry again.

This is done to secure equal possibilities for all parties.

In the short period your .in domain registration request is in the queue at the INregistry, another registrar can have registered the .in domain for their customer.

Other factors that can influence the domain registration:

The .in domain shows up as free in whois but is already taken the second we apply to register.

The INregistry’s whois server is having problems with the load of requests and is giving wrong information to our servers.

The domain name is invalid (too short or reserved word).

The WHOIS search is not an accurate indicator of .in domain availability. The WHOIS lookup is simply a database of contact information for .in domains registered at the registry. If a .in domain is registered seconds ago through any of the other registrars it would not show up in our WHOIS lookup. The best way to tell if a .in domain is available is by attempting to register it. During that process our system contacts INregistry for the domain status and the registry tells us whether it is available. If the .in domain isn’t available INdomains will refund the registration fee within 48 hours.
